'A masterwork' - Roger Steffens

Peter Tosh: the rude boy, the radical,
the Rasta. A founding member of The Wailers and a compelling recording artist
in his own right, Tosh was much more than Bob Marley's bandmate. An
uncompromising firebrand, he was Jamaica's most controversial star.

In this, the very first and definitive
biography of Tosh, esteemed reggae journalist John Masouri explores one of
reggae's most extraordinary stories. This story ended in violence in 1987, when
Tosh was brutally murdered. In the aftermath, rumours swirled about his
involvement in Kingston's criminal underworld.

Steppin' Razor draws on hundreds of
interviews with those who knew Peter Tosh best, including Bunny Wailer and
other close associates. Tracing Tosh's recording career from The Wailers to
international acclaim, Masouri details his encounters with Eric Clapton and Joe
Cocker and his volatile relationships with Bob Marley and Lee 'Scratch' Perry.
Tosh's darker side is also revealed - from his fascination with the occult to,
in unprecedented detail, the events surrounding his tragic, untimely and
mysterious death.
